Mangroves Protected Land from Sea Flooding - Expert

Denis from Thames

Sea flooding during the January 5 storm would have been much worse without mangroves, an expert says. They protect stop banks necessary for flood protection of farms and property.

All of them are on the Thames foreshore on land subject to substantial sea flooding under even modest sea-level rise scenarios.
